Our History

What is now middle Tennessee's premiere venue for
hosting special events, was once a fully operational church dedicated to
serving the local community of Manchester.

Construction was completed in 1894 and then later expanded in 1951 to accommodate the
growing number of families, The Church @117 continues to
embrace the rich heritage and legacy of its beginnings while now serving as
the perfect place for hosting family gatherings and celebrations of
all types.

Recent renovations have retained its majestic aesthetic as a beautifully historic church while its interior has been fully updated into a state of the art locale befitting all of your special events. Capable of supporting over 200 guests, The Church @117 is the perfect
choice for events big and small including but not limited to weddings
and receptions, birthday parties, reunions, music showcases, video
shoots, and more!
